Menoe Grotesque typeface was inspired by an old Continental typewriter. Adam Katyi analyzed the serif typeface on this machine and drew his own sans serif version, keeping in mind the typewriter’s tradition.

This typeface is a 10 Pitch font: if you set 10 letters at 12 point size, it will be 10 Pitch (1 inch) wide. Menoe Grotesque is a monospaced typeface; all the characters are in the same bounding box width making it perfect for programming or setting text in columns. It supports both Latin and Cyrillic script and 85 different languages altogether.
